Tom's Pasta Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 He's bound to score against us for Palace now
AKCJ Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Says who? He could be lying, he could be telling the truth. If they had actually accepted a bid he'd be lying if he said they hadn't. Me? It's my opinion that he'll lie/twist facts to get the best for his club. Making his opinion irrelevant when discussing facts. My original point was that people shouldn't take the word of anyone for gospel and should only accept that we have signed someone when it's been announced. Of course he could be lying, of course he could be telling the truth. I'm just using common sense and logic to guess that he's twisting the truth because Dave Whelan wants whats best for his club rather than whats best for the media (and thus including the general public) People are so quick to mock journalists but they've actually got a job to do and it's their reputation on the line. I trusted Geoff Peters more than Dave Whelan because he has a very reputable job and has direct connection to the Leicester fan base. Making it in his best interests to get his information correct.
roblcfc84 Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Would be nice to get this one done as well - looks unlikely
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 I'm not 'ITK', I occasionally get bits of info - but I got this yesterday and where it has come from is 100% reliable. He was definitely there, and definitely had his medical. He definitely wasn't and definitely didn't. Well done Geoff in trying to keep people calm yesterday, even if most people didn't listen. Even his mum doesn't listen to him I like how you all took Dave Whelan's word as gospel. Well he is the fvcking owner of Wigan, his word has more credibility than journos and twitter ******. The article in the Mercury has no quotes from anyone, however we have quotes from Dave Whelan saying a deal is agreed, if the Mercury actually knew anything they'd have quotes. Sometimes journalists get given a steer about things but without being able to quote them directly. It's always worth as a journalist digging deeper into stories and not taking everything at face value.
Filbert_Ross Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Be happy to sign this guy too if Pearson wants him. Cambiasso only here for one year, can't just think short term.
Deucalion Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Could Wigan being close to signing Delort be a sign that this deal might still go ahead?
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Really can't see us signing McArthur. A striker or two (one being N'Daye) and possibly a defender.
cjslcfc Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Really can't see us signing McArthur. A striker or two (one being N'Daye) and possibly a defender. Two Strikers? We already have Vardy, Ulloa, Nugent and Wood. N'Doye would make it 5. Surely even that is pushing it?
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 I suspect if both strikers came in (or even one of them), Wood would be on his way. His wages however might be a stumbling block for most Championship clubs though.

His wages however might be a stumbling block for most Championship clubs though. That would be disappointing as I feel Wood is still young and has a lot to learn. Just would much rather we concentrate on getting one or even two more defenders and I think we will be just fine!
ktfox59 Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 So what happens on Monday when all of our new signings are confirmed. Your panic stricken responses will look very very foolish.hands up. We got Cambiasso over the line and im chuffed to bits to be wrong.

I trusted Geoff Peters more than Dave Whelan because he has a very reputable job and has direct connection to the Leicester fan base. Making it in his best interests to get his information correct. Sorry but this is hilarious. Firstly journalists don't have a positive reputation, so it's not on the line. Secondly if they gave a crap about their reputation they wouldn't talk so much crap so often. The amount of utter falsehoods that come out of most journalists mouth/pen (especially ones at talksport) is enough to take everything they say with a huge pinch of salt. As for this bloke having a reputable job and a connection to the Leicester fanbase - erm, Ian Stringer, nuff said. Christ you really are talking out of your arse. You can argue all night if you like, you'll never be able to justify thinking a journalist's word has more credibility than a club owner's when it comes to transfer bids.

foxoffderby Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Let's see what happens with McArthur eh? keep up the good work Geoff been following you since the 90's
BigMicky Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 hands up. We got Cambiasso over the line and im chuffed to bits to be wrong. Its a great time to be a LCFC fan!! Relax and enjoy the moment!
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 keep up the good work Geoff been following you since the 90's Do I need to get a restraining order ?
Kitchandro Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Let's see what happens with McArthur eh? Why do you think it will make you some all knowing hero if he doesn't sign?
Webbo Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Why do you think it will make you some all knowing hero if he doesn't sign? Don't be a misery guts, just be happy we've signed someone.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Why do you think it will make you some all knowing hero if he doesn't sign? Haha!! Not in the slightest. But you were banging on about believing a chairman over the journalists who actually investigated the story a little deeper.
BigMicky Posted 28 August 2014 Posted 28 August 2014 Why do you think it will make you some all knowing hero if he doesn't sign? Ooopsy Mr pissy pants.
